Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an opening arrangement for container packages, comprising a sealing portion which inflexibly engages with and surrounds a pouring spout, whose end facing away from the container package consists of a continuous, liquid-tight material layer which is shaped in accordance with the inner configuration of the sealing portion.
  • Container packages or cartons of the single-use disposable type are largely employed today to pack consumer goods such as, for example, beverages like milk or juice.
  • the container package is made from a laminate with carrier layers of paperboard or cardboard, different layers of thermoplastic being laminated thereto.
  • the laminate may also have a different core material, such as metal foil.
  • the packaging material which may be in web form or as sheet blanks, is folded, sealed and finally formed into a liquid-tight container package.
  • the finished container package should naturally also include an opening arrangement which must be simple to open and pour from, with the liquid contents in a compact jet and without any risk of spilling or dripping.
  • container packages manufactured from a packaging material consisting of a paper laminate may be difficult to tear open and fold to form a functional pouring spout.
  • the intention is to reclose and reseal the container package, it is not possible to make the package liquid-tight once again.
  • thermoplastic lid also includes an opening arrangement integral with the lid. This opening arrangement is relatively easy to open but neither is this version liquid-tight on reclosure and resealing.
  • One object of the present invention is to realize an opening arrangement for container packages which, on opening, makes it possible for the aperture of the pouring spout to have smooth edges.
  • a further object of the present invention is to devise a screw stopper or plug which ensures that the consumer will be able to see at a glance that the container package has not been subjected to unauthorized opening.
  • the opening arrangement of the type described by way of introduction has been given the characterizing feature that the sealing portion consists of an inner, right-hand threaded part which is closed at the top, and an outer, left-hand threaded part in whose upper region there are provided at least two penetration devices oriented inwardly in the pouring spout.
  • Fig. 1 shows an opening arrangement 1 according to the present invention applied to a container package 2 of known type.
  • the container package 2 which is manufactured from a laminate with a core of paper, cardboard or metal to which is laminated different layers of thermoplastic, is folded, sealed and formed into a so-called gable-top carton 2.
  • the opening arrangement 1 is placed on one of the upper defining surfaces 3 of the carton 2 forming a so-called gable-top.
  • the Figure shows only the outer sealing portion 4 of the opening arrangement 1, this portion being formed as a screw stopper of substantially conventional type, with interior threading, or alternatively a snap top with an inner bead (not shown).
  • Fig. 2 shows another type of container package 5 also of known type in which the lower portion of the container package 5 consists of a laminate in accordance with the above description.
  • the upper defining surface 6 of the container package 5 consists of a thermoplastic panel, part of the surface of which has been formed into a pouring spout surrounded by an outer sealing portion 4. The remaining parts of the thermoplastic panel are folded about the upper edge of the container package 5 and are sealed by means of heat against the thermoplastic surface of the packaging laminate.
  • FIGs. 3A-E schematically show how an opening arrangement 1 according to the present invention is realized in a container package 2 according to Fig. 1.
  • a circular opening 7 (Fig. 3A) is made in one of the upper sloping gable-top panels 3 of the container package 2.
  • a thermoplastic panel 8 is placed inside the circular opening 7, this panel having a diameter which exceeds that of the circular opening 7 in the wall surface 3 of the container package 2.
  • the thermoplastic panel 8 is sealed interiorly against the inner wall surface of the container package 2 by means of a sealing tool 9.
  • thermoplastic panel 8 is heated to a temperature at which the thermoplastic plasticizes (for polyethylene approx. 110°C) with the aid of a heater 10.
  • thermoplastic panel 8 Once the thermoplastic panel 8 has become plasticized and pliable, it is subjected to vacuum or pressure forming in a moulding tool 11 as illustrated in Fig. 3D.
  • the outer sealing portion 4 acts as a mould for the vacuum forming, i.e. the screw stopper which is to surround the pouring spout 12.
  • Fig. 3E finally shows the finished pouring spout 12 provided with threads 15.
  • the pouring spout 1 is completely sealed and constitutes a liquid-tight part of the container package 2 when the outer sealing fin or flap 13 is finally sealed together after the filling operation.
  • Fig. 4 shows the opening arrangement 1 according to the present invention in that state in which it is to be found on the carton 2 when the consumer first handles it.
  • the ring 16 which is fixed or sealed to the outer sealing portion 4, the consumer is guaranteed that no-one can have tampered with or unrightfully opened the carton 2.
  • the ring 16, which is made of plastic material, can be provided with a thumb grip 17 in order to facilitate grasping of the ring for tearing-off.
  • the opening arrangement 1 may also be manufactured without the ring 16 but those advantages afforded by the ring 16 from the point of view of the consumer will then be lost.
  • the outer sealing portion 4 consists of two parts, the first being an outer screw stopper-like part 18 which is left-hand threaded. In the upper region of this outer screw stopper like part 18, there are provided at least two, and preferably four penetration devices 14.
  • the penetration devices 14 may consist of small bevelled plastic pieces which project out from the inner wall of the outer part 18 of the sealing portion 4. They may also consist of small metal pieces which have been fixed in place.
  • the sealing portion 4 also has an inner part 19 which is right-hand threaded and fits the threads 15 of the pouring spout 12.
  • This inner part 19 is not of the same height as the outer part 18 but terminates before the penetration devices 14 with a tightly sealing plastic washer 20.
  • the tightly sealing plastic washer 20 serves as a seal for the inner part 19 of the sealing portion 4 and the upper part of the pouring spout 12 is thus formed against this plastic washer 20.
  • Fig. 5 shows the opening arrangement 1 according to the present invention once the pull-ring 16 has been removed and the outer part 18 of the sealing portion 4 has been screwed with left-hand turn down to a stop heel 21.
  • This stop heel 21 constitutes a component of the inner part 19 of the sealing portion 4 and is located most proximal the end wall of the container package.
  • the penetration devices 14 will also cut through the plastic washer 20 which terminates the inner part 19 of the sealing portion 4, at the same time as they penetrate through the upper region of the pouring spout 12.
  • the outer part 18 of the sealing portion 4 is locked in its lower position, for example by plastic barbs which are placed between the outer part 18 and the stop heel 21 (not shown in the Figure).
  • the penetration devices 14 are placed in such a manner that they are angled slightly in towards the centre of the pouring spout, they will, on removal of the outer sealing portion 4, retain the severed portions of the plastic washer 20 and the pouring spout 12.
  • a screw fixed in the inside of the outer part 18 of the sealing portion 4 can be disposed simultaneously to penetrate down into the plastic washer 20 and the pouring spout 12 and retain the severed portions when the sealing portion 4 is unscrewed from the opening arrangement 1.
  • the penetration devices 14 should be at least two in number but are four in number in the preferred embodiment.
  • the number of penetration devices 14 is dependant upon the length and pitch of the thread 15. The longer the thread 15, the fewer will be the number of penetration devices 14 required.
  • the penetration devices 14 must together be capable of cutting off a complete circular surface of the plastic washer 20 and the pouring spout 12.
  • the present invention realizes an opening arrangement for conventional container packages or cartons which is simple to open and reseal.
  • the consumer is guaranteed a container package which has not been opened by unauthorized hands and, as a result of the perforation or penetration devices characteristic of the present invention, the user will obtain a pouring spout which makes possible pouring of the contents of the container package without spilling and without dripping.
